Reply to Teen Pregnancy According Juno (and Me) in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I enjoyed Juno. No, it wasn't great that a teenager got pregnant, but that's life...things happen. When other people are probably seeing her simply as a moron for getting knocked up, we the audience get to see a bright, clever girl who charges on with the pregnancy even when some don't want her to...in the end, she did what was right for her. Now, I hope teens don't get this message that getting pregnant so young is "cool"...I do hope, though, that they got the message

Reply to Oh My, Olympic Fever in Entertainment Stardock Forums

[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="1"]I have not really had time to stay on top of the Olympic this year. I read the headlines and so know about Phelps, but other than that and the "Redeem Team", I have not heard much.[/quote] I've found it to be pretty cool...I didn't expect to get into them very much. In fact, I am surprised a good amount of people I know have gotten into the games. While talking to my colleagues at lunch yesterday, I found out that ALL of them had been watchin

Oh My, Olympic Fever in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Honestly, I didn't think I'd be watching the Olympics as much as I have been. I thought, Okay, I'll watch women's gymnastics, but that's it. But lo and behold, I have also been watching swimming, diving, a bit of beach volleyball, and track as well (dang it, I have yet to see the Men's basketball team play). So, okay, me watching swimming shouldn't be so hard to believe since Michael Phelps was putting on the most awesome performances ever. However, I am surpris

Sorry you had to deal with ignorant relatives. I hope things turn out for the better for your brother. Also, a sincere Congratulations for being accepted into the Master's Program! :CONGRAT: It is a goal of mine to back to school and get my Master's Degree within the next year or two.

Gosh...that was a horrible story! It stinks that you spent all that money on the car, but at least you got home safe and sound.

I think 99.9% of parents w/school aged children are with ya on this one. ;) At this point in the summer, kids are just looking to see what shennanigans they can get into...lol. The first day of school cannot come any sooner!

Reply to Adieu, JoeUser in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I agree on the "sameness" of the blogs. I keep on wishing and hoping some sort of customization options will become available. Best wishes to you. Honestly, I hope this isn't the last time we see ya around. It's always kind of sad to see a well liked regular leave.

The elementary my son will attend this year (the one my oldest left year before last) seems to have frowning, unhappy teachers. Like they took a teaching job for some other reason than being around kids. ~shrugs~The photography thing sounds fun. Be sure to post your pics.[/quote] <

Reply to Why Did I Buy An SUV? in Automotive Stardock Forums

Hey, in the end, a car is a personal choice. I don't like big cars, so I wouldn't buy a huge truck or SUV myself. In the next few years, I am seeing myself getting a roomy medium sized vehicle. I guess it's the "in" thing right now not to have a gas guzzler...but if it fits in with your family's lifestyle, then so be it.

Good for you, Marcie, for trying to get healthy. It's hard...I battle with my weight, too(I'm a double digit sized girl myself). Leauki has some pretty good tips for you already, so I have nothing much to add except to say don't give up...even when there are setbacks for ya.
